ArcGIS GeoBIM delivers a connected data environment that seamlessly links architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) information in Autodesk Construction Cloud with geospatial data and services in ArcGIS. Easily build and share apps, field maps, and issue dashboards to simplify communication, mitigate risk, and keep teams coordinated with the latest information at their fingertips.
The June 2025 release of ArcGIS GeoBIM streamlines GIS and BIM integration with simplified 3D models, expanded flexibility for building custom web apps, and support for more file formats.

Simplified 3D models streamline the integration of GIS and BIM
The new Add Document Models tool in ArcGIS GeoBIM makes working with frequent changes to large infrastructure and building models more efficient. It creates simplified, performant 3D models from Revit and Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) documents with links to the sources in Autodesk Construction Cloud.
Currently available in beta, this tool reduces BIM file sizes by up to 95%, automates georeferencing, and generates ready-to-use 3D web scenes.
It’s optimized for fast updates—making it ideal for teams that need to visualize spatially accurate BIM content without the overhead of full model complexity.
Simplified 3D models are optimized for performance and collaboration. They maintain direct links to the original Revit or IFC documents in Autodesk, ensuring access to the latest full model detail when needed. This makes them well-suited for use in construction monitoring, stakeholder engagement, and mobile workflows in the field.
By simplifying updates and ensuring spatial precision, teams can save time, access critical design data faster, and improve decision-making with responsive, geolocated BIM content that’s easy to keep up-to-date.

New ArcGIS Experience Builder widgets to build custom web apps
Three new widgets in ArcGIS Experience Builder give teams more ways to build more powerful, customized web apps that connect GIS and AEC data. Designed to enhance integration with Autodesk Construction Cloud, these widgets extend the ArcGIS GeoBIM experience for improving collaboration and project insights:
- Document Viewer: View and interact with linked 3D models and 2D documents.
- Link Explorer: Explore all project data linked to features in web maps or scenes.
- Document Explorer: Easily explore a folder tree of all project documents and data.
With new ways to connect GIS and AEC data in customized ArcGIS Experience Builder web apps, teams can improve information sharing, project collaboration, and decision-making.
Whether you’re a user of ArcGIS GeoBIM looking to customize project apps—or a user of ArcGIS Experience Builder looking to work with building information modeling (BIM) data—these new widgets offer expanded possibilities for building web apps your way.
Read this article to learn more about the widgets, what you can build, and how to get started.
Support for JPG, PDF, and DGN files
By integrating commonly used formats, including PDFs and DGNs often used in transportation infrastructure workflows, ArcGIS GeoBIM transforms static files into strategic, collaborative assets. With a unified platform for accessing CAD drawings, field images, and engineering documents, project teams can reduce delays, improve coordination, and focus more time on execution instead of file management.

ArcGIS GeoBIM supports project to revitalize Wrexham stadium
Ramboll piloted GIS and BIM integration on the historic Wrexham A.F.C. stadium—a project with the backing of Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney. The team brought together siloed workflows between design and environmental teams, allowing them to better collaborate, visualize designs in geographic context, and track issues before construction began.
Esri and Autodesk customers integrating GIS and BIM
Watch AEC firms like Ramboll and infrastructure owners share the benefits of using GIS and BIM together to break down silos and make better decisions in geospatial context. Hear from leaders at Arup, Arcadis, HDR, Parsons, and more.
